The vital bit you seem to have missed is in CAPS below. I'm absolutely *NOT*
suggesting we *forget* the 2%. Let's just try and do some stuff which makes
full use of the media available for as big a segment of users as possible.
Sorry you're disappointed. I believe the responsibility I have is to help
produce websites that are engaging, interesting and different. I also do my
utmost to ensure that they are accessible.

I am sorry but I seriously doubt the persons you're cutting off
represent only 2% and frankly it really surprises me (not in a good
way) for someone in your position to have such a complacent view about
this issue. Most people look at big and very visible museums to lead
the way, set a positive example. You have the power to make a
difference with that I believe comes responsibility...I am disappointed
really..
